Dairio in Winston-Salem has been a longtime favorite of mine since childhood, back when the only spot was in downtown King. I remember the nostalgia every time I go--it's like a trip down memory lane, but with a much bigger menu now! I ordered two plain hot dogs, fries, and a chicken gyro this time. The hot dogs were just as classic as I remembered, no bells and whistles, just good, simple comfort food. The fries were perfectly crispy, and the chicken gyro added an unexpected twist--who knew Dairio could dabble in Mediterranean too? It's the ultimate spot for a bit of everything, just as it's always been. read more

Never have I ever had a burger heat up so well. I've simply been sleeping on Dairi-0. I've had people telling me this for so long but I finally stopped in. I picked up a hot dog all the way, a cheeseburger, and some fries. Everything was absolutely delicious. The hot dog was incredible and I tried the burger but ended up saving it for the next day and it heated up very well. I got the jalapeño ranch per some recommendations and it really put everything over the top. I'll be back for more, Dairi-O read more

2 drive thru lines, I've been waiting 10 minutes for a sweet tea. This location needs to get it together

The food was ok and can't say too much about the service, because its pretty much self, but the ambiance was nice and chilled for a family.

i came in for lunch , I usually get fries from here but Deliah suggested other options and I didn't even know there were that many , I ended the day with some good onion rings and hotdog. Good service . clean atmosphere. read more

We went on a "Spirit Night" for our kids school & the place was absolutely packed & they still did a fantastic job! Our food was good & hot, the restaurant appeared clean & it was a nice place. We'd come back on a less insane night. read more

TLDR: Excellent food, good customer service, and reasonable prices and portions, but poor order accuracy. Dairi-O what happened? We are used to accurate orders, excellent customer service, and delicious food. The customer service and food are still great, but order accuracy has dropped significantly. Be sure to check your order before leaving. Our order was missing 2 chicken tenders, dressing, condiments, napkins, and plasticware. Plus the salad I requested (more than once) to not have cheese, had cheese on it. It would not be as disappointing if it wasn't bleu cheese crumbles. The crumbles are so difficult to remove. Additionally, the entire ordering process was confusing and inconvenient. I think they were trying to make it quicker by having two employees outside, one to take orders and the other to direct drive thru traffic. They try to line up cars in four spaces (2x2) comparable to Chick-fil-A. However, service is inconsistent and customers received their items in a different order than they were placed. Therefore an employee needed to stand out in the cold and play musical cars. If there was not an extra space to move your car then you waited until others received their order. An additional road is opened up occasionally to accommodate one waiting vehicle. The cones are moved by an employee for a car to pull through then they are replaced. We were directed to this area. It was nice since we could pull out to the left to leave. This section is only the width of one car. A lady behind us (I'm assuming a customer), rather than turning right got out of her car, moved the cones, and pulled up behind us. An employee walked up to her to inform her that it was not an exit. She proceeded to berate the employee who remained professional and helpful. We definitely felt bad for him and she had to wait until we retrieved our order anyway. Honestly this interaction may have flustered the employee leading to him not thoroughly checking our order which is completely understandable. If it wasn't for the great food and customer service I would have removed more stars. Overall, we will still eat here and recommend it to others! read more

I have been to multiple Dairi-o locations and typically have great experiences. This location has been somewhat of a mixed bag of experiences. The restaurant environment is lively and clean so that is definitely a positive aspect. They have lots of windows and I love the natural light. The food from this location has been as expected with other Dairi-o locations and I find the fries to be well seasoned and the burgers and hot dogs to be the best fast food option around. The part that I have found that was lacking was the service. For a fast food location the time from ordering to receiving my meal was ver subpar. They had multiple staff members outside the drive thru and they were all just standing around waiting on the kitchen. When I go to a Dairi-o I expect timely service and good food. They fulfilled half of these expectations. read more

Don't go through their drive-through (or should I say parking lot). We ordered a small order-only a double scoop of ice cream in a cup and waited some 20 mins for it. Sitting in a sea of cars all packed into the drive thru area. We even had someone come over to give us the wrong order. And another worker asked our name out of pity for seeing us just sitting there looking upset. When we got our order there was a quick apology but it in no way made up for our wasted time. Plus the scoops were puny. Chick-Fil-A they are NOT. Ugh!!! read more

I came in for lunch and to spend some time writing while I was waiting for a kid's birthday party. It's been a while since I've had a full meal at Dairi-O. Usually, I'll get a hotdog (which are really good) and move on, but I was craving a burger. I ordered the simple burger combo, added cheese and bacon, tomato, lettuce, pickle, grilled onion, mayo and mustard. For me, the key basic ingredients are mustard, tomato, pickle. I can forego cheese, bacon, mayo, lettuce, but the key parts add the textures and flavors that make a burger pop. A fried egg is also one that is close to the top, but I don't think Dairi-O has them available. Anyway, I came away with perfectly cooked fries, an amazing burger, and a cup of real sugar, meyer lemonade. It was all fantastic, and cost me right at $10. The grilled onions added a nice touch and did not cost any extra. Dairi-O pleases, and I plan to be back (of course). read more

The menu is larger than I thought it would be. Many options. Had burgers and fries and they were good. Nothing really stood out about the meal. Restaurant was clean and service was quick. Drink stations were fully stocked and clean. Seeing ice cream both soft serve and hand scooped was a surprise. Got a chocolate dipped cone which I enjoyed. I'll have to try something else next time. read more

Came here to support a school function. It's great that Dairo works with schools to help raise money. Give the volume of customers they managed it very well. Kids loved their food but I got the spicy chicken tenders and was left disappointed. The sauce made them lose their crispness and not great flavor. The milkshakes were great but need a dedicated milkshake straw for improved enjoyment. Worth checking out again. read more

Always was curious of this place when passing through Triad. Always a long line of cars in the drive-thru and seems to move fast...Chik'fil-a style service...friendly clean-cut employees. I ordered a double cheeseburger combo w/ fries and a drink. Burger was delicious, reminds me on In N Out in California. I docked a star for the fries....kind of Ore-Ida 'ish....They were hot and plentiful, but I'd prefer a non-frozen skinnier fry. All in all a good experience. Definitely super customer service. read more

Ooooh loved the atmosphere of this place. Reminded me of an old diner or something. I got a market salad with apples and crispy chicken, with a raspberry vinaigrette dressing. It was delightful. I really wanted to get some ice cream, but I was too full from my salad. They had sooo many flavors of ice cream that even when I walked over to the ice cream area. Ooooh ya baby. read more

You can't go wrong with Dairi-o's, really great fast food, always pleasant , it does get packed, but thats understandable. One thing I will tell you is, should you dine in, try to park on the left side of the buliding(closer to the food lion building) rather than the right side, you will get stuck in DRIVE THRU traffic, and that's no fun. We made that mistake and couldn't leave the parking for 20 min or so, but other than that its great. read more

A generally unimaginative choice. The sandwiches often feel slapped together and premade, and the salads are uninspired. Inside, it's loud and echoey. The staff members have the personality of cardboard. Two stars for an OK hot dog and fish sandwich, but don't let the stylized building design fool you: This is not your authentic diner. Go find a mom 'n' pop. This is true for all the locations I've been to, King, Archdale, Winston-Salem. read more

Richard was amazing and ensured my order was fulfilled accurately. He was polite and respectful. He went above and background to be sure I was 100% satisfied! read more

I really wanted to love this more. We both got the combo dogs all the way. I should've added more toppings for my preference. Food was hot and service was good. The buns are really sweet, which threw me off. The fries are AMAZING though. So good. Got a free combo meal as my bf is active duty, which is a very generous deal. read more

Kinda disappointed at this location. The last time I came, my toddler's chicken strips were hard as a rock and they forgot my tzatziki sauce. Went there again yesterday evening, after a few months and was surprised I was given the tzatziki sauce and chicken strips cooked perfectly. Got home to open the tzatziki sauce and my stomach started turning. It was thick and looked like cheese curds. So freaking disgusted. read more

Two words. Cheeseburger pita. Ground beef, onions, green peppers, mayo, and a whole lotta cheese. INCREDIBLE! Best known for their burgers and hotdogs here. Also, have lighter options, grilled chicken, Turkey dogs, salads, soups, and grill cheese. While it is fast food, the restaurant is always impeccably clean and delivers exceptional service. They also have a large, tasty ice cream selection of you're feeling that dessert pocket and want a freshly made waffle cone, hence the name "Dairi-ooooo" :) read more

The "all star" salad is delicious. Speedy service. There attention to detail is appreciated when it comes to "complex" orders.

The service and food used to be good but as times goes on it just keeps getting worse. We quit getting fries from there. They were under cooked so many times. When asked if they could cook them longer and they said NO. Then every time we go there we are asked to pull forward and wait and wait for our food. Then they will bring you your food with no napkins or the condiments you ask for. read more

These folks really take the "fast" out of "fast food" - not only did I wait longer in their drive thru than I spent at the DMV this afternoon (true story) but they also messed up my order 3 different times. When I pulled up to the second window, they tried charging me for a completely different order. After correcting the person who made the error, I was charged for a similar (not my) order. I only noticed the mistake because I looked at the receipt and noticed a different drink. Then once I pointed out that they needed to correct my drink order, they wanted to charge me an additional $2 and change to switch from lemonade to Diet Pepsi. I ended up canceling the entire order after wasting over 20 minutes. Two hot dogs, all the way, with a Diet Pepsi: that was the entire order. They couldn't manage to get this right, and I arrived after the lunch hour rush had ended. It's amazing to me that they manage to keep their doors open overcharging for hot dogs when they can't even get the order right. read more

Stopped in today around noon to find not much of a line. This location has a lot of indoor seating and a drive thru line that goes relatively quick from what I could see from the seat I chose. I ordered the jalapeño chicken salad with jalapeño ranch and a side of coleslaw. The order was quick and came out within 3-4 minutes. First impressions were that they kind of skimped on the dressing, giving me two small containers that were both half full. The slaw was amazing and I'm upset it was a tiny cup for $1.50, I was expecting a larger portion. The chicken in the salad was hot, had nice grill marks, and was pre-sliced, but not all the way through. I had to take the chicken off along with the red onion to cut them up all the way. The bacon is crunchy and clearly isn't the fake bacon bits a lot of places would use. Overall a great quality salad, just was a little dry since I didn't have enough dressing. The salad also came with two small packages of crackers that had two in each. Would have been nice to have them dipped in any excess dressing if I had any left. I'm sure I'll be back for this salad again as it's better than any other fast food salad that I've ever tried, just wish there was more consistency between visits. read more

I'm surprised at the great reviews this place gets. The "shakes" (i.e. notice the word "milk" is left off) are terrible. Another fast restaurant that serves BBQ have milkshakes to die for. The Dairi-O Shake isn't worth the calories -- thought I can't find a calorie / fat info anywhere or line. Wonder why? Perhaps the fish sandwich and side salad I ordered would have been better than the hotdogs and fries I got... I'll be the person who got the salad instead of fries was very disappointed. However, I thought the fries tasted like old grease so I only tried a few. The hotdogs were ok -- though the ones I make myself are much better and they have 28 grams of fat ... yikes!! I can skip this place without a second thought -- heck I can grab some hotdogs and buns and a container of ice cream at the grocery behind it -- and that's will be real ice cream, not worth the far and calories. read more
